Finding Suitable Artwork

So let's say you're interested in creating cards with the MSE-Template and that you're looking for suitable artwork for your own personal use. Where to start?

If you're interested in some of the original copyrighted SR-Artwork, I'd recommend the following:

• Shadowrun cover artworks on Best Game Wallpapers
• The book High Tech & Low Life: The Art of Shadowrun (Amazon Link)
• There's also tons of color artwork in the newer major Catalyst Labs publications, such as SR 4: Anniversary Edition, Shadowrun 2050, Seattle 2072, or the Sixth World Almanac. So check them out for some of the newer great artwork!
• These days, it's also quite common for the illustrators themselves to showcase their artwok on personal websites, blogs, and art sites (particularly on deviantART or CGHUB). I've compiled a downloadable MS-Excel list of 154 Shadowrun Artists and their associated weblinks. As you can see, I've become quite obsessed with tracking down all the people that have ever contributed to the growing corpus of original Shadowrun art. Notable illustrators with Shadowrun art online include Andreas "AAS" Schroth, John Zeleznick, Klaus Schwerwinski, Tom Baxa, Jeff Laubenstein, and Paul Bonner.

If you're looking for non-original artwork that has a cyberpunk/Shadowrun type of feel to it, check out these sources:

• There's a Shadowrun art thread on the RPG forums, featuring both original and non-original art.
• There are various Shadowrun art groups on deviantART, e.g. the Shadowrun-Collection group, or the Shadowrunners-Unite group.
• Concept Ships is an amazing website with art for technical stuff (e.g. drones, weapons, vehicles, urban skylines etc.).
• Also consider googling for random collections of cyberpunk art, such as this one, or this one

Another useful website I can recommed is TinEye reverse image search, which helps you in finding the coypright holder of a given image, as well as in finding higher resolution versions of the same image.

Please let me know, if you have other great sources and tools you'd recommend! I'd be happy to update this blog post with all the information you contribute...
